On this boring Sunday I've been looking at NFL helmets throughout history. The photo above, via CBS Sports, is the current logo for all 32 NFL teams. Obviously, logos have been tweaked here and there but for the most part the Kansas City Chiefs helmet hasn't changed a bit.
And I love that.
The mothership has a nice rundown of the Chiefs uniform history dating all the way back to the 1960s. I found a very cool website called Helmet Hut that has photos of Chiefs helmets throughout history. I snagged a few of those including Bobby Bell and Len Dawson among others and posted them after the jump.
Bobby Bell 1968
Otis Taylor
Len Dawson 1970
Fred Williamson
Johnny Robinson
And to top it off, we have a NSFW link -the Broncos helmets throughout the years. It's a vomit-y mixture of orange, blue and brown. This is not a link to click if you're about to eat.

Nothing was as cool
AS Willy Laniers “ridge” helmet. I’ve heard he donated it to the Hall Of Fame.

Thanks for this post...
I found the Helmet huts website very interesting. I was wondering why the A was on Bobby Bell’s helmet… Interesting to find out that he kept the helmet and used it for the Pro Bowl and season year in and year out.(before being retired)

The Redskins had some pretty cool Helmets over the years.
I think that they should go back to the single feather…. those had badassery written all over them!

Hey
that almost 65-esque. Consider it a tribute after this most awesomely American holiday (air guitar)

That'd be sweet
Those are actually the little gumball helmets you get.
